I No Longer Want To Be With Her
“Zayden, Xeno’s heart condition is acting up. He could die. I have to go! We can deal with everything else when we get home, okay?”
I looked at her.
One moment, she was confessing to me. The next, she heard Xeno coughing on the other end and could think of nothing else.
I knew Natalie too well.
Yarden only needed to show a little helplessness, a bit of fatherly concern, and he could completely control her.
“Go.”
I leaned back into my chair, and my expression turned cold.
“Natalie, once you leave, we’re done.”
She froze.
She stared at me, full of doubt. Finally, she spoke through clenched teeth, “Zayden, a life is at stake. I can’t just stand by.”
